UNITED NATIONS Feb 26 (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, nine members of his family and six other members of his inner circle will face international travel bans, according to a draft U.N. sanctions proposal to be voted on on Saturday.

Any assets belonging to Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi and four other family members will be frozen, according to the draft U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution, which was obtained by Reuters.

The draft resolution is expected to be put to a vote after the Security Council reconvenes at 8 p.m. EST (0100 GMT). (Reporting by Louis Charbonneau; Editing by Todd Eastham)
